Definition

Objective segregation is the practice of separating individuals or groups based on specific criteria such as race, gender, religion, or nationality. This can occur in various settings such as schools, workplaces, or communities, and can have negative consequences such as reinforcing stereotypes, promoting inequality, and limiting opportunities for personal growth and understanding of others. It is important to actively work towards breaking down barriers and promoting inclusivity to create a more equitable and harmonious society.
